Dealing in the realm of what floats beneath the surface of consciousness \u2014 dreams, ruminations, and archetypal symbols \u2014 Kearney creates fields of objects that exist somewhere between rune and cartoon, between suggestive remnant and semi-emergent fact. In her playful receptivity to the raw stuff of stone, earth, pigment in water, or language itself, she explores all kinds of lively materialities. The tangible becomes an occasion for the intangible to reveal itself. Images arise from matter\u2019s ambiguous zones of reference and into the nameable: as ovals, hands, eyes, vessels, ghosts, voids, animals, bodies. Forms are made and unmade.<\/p>\n<p>Kearney currently has a solo show of sculptures and works on paper entitled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guestgallery.art\/\">DIGS at Guest<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.guestgallery.art\/\">Gallery<\/a> in Brooklyn, NY, on view from September 20th \u2013 November 8th. She also will have sculptures in a group exhibition at Koki Arts in Tokyo, Japan, this October.<br \/>\nSome previous solo exhibitions include Putty\u2019s Coronation, Brooklyn, NY; Undercurrent Gallery, Brooklyn New York; Artshack Gallery, Brooklyn, NY; and Annex Gallery, Lighthouse Works, Fisher\u2019s Island, NY.<\/p>\n<p>She is a NYFA grant recipient and is the author of Dim, Dahlia, Violet, Stone, (ITI Press, 2024), DAYS, (Belladonna Press, 2021), and My Ida (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2017). She teaches at Parsons School for Design and Rutgers University.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
